Newspapers are Disappearing

The Rocky Mountain News has ceased publication, a victim of the economy. The end of an era has come to Denver. For 150 years the Rocky Mountain News had been a fair and balanced newspaper and it will be missed. Or will it?
If the online edition continues with the same great content, then only the format will be missed. I hope the Rocky's human capital finds a way to deliver in an electronic format the great insights, analysis and stories we have come to love and depend on.
This is only the first stage in the evolution of news delivery. As electronic news gathering and publishing, RSS feeds, blogs and social media grow we will see more changes. Those who adapt will survive and I hope the Rocky will be one of them.
